Can I Get Compensation for My Pain and Suffering?
In many cases you can. Pain and suffering is a type of damage in a personal injury case. It is a broad category that covers various types of physical and mental anguish after a person suffers injury from another party’s negligence. The amount that one can receive for pain and suffering in claims or personal injury lawsuits varies. This will depend on the amount of medical bills, assumed future amount, lost wages, and other factors.

Is Emotional Distress Considered a Personal Injury?
Emotional distress would be classified as a “noneconomic” damage. This type of damage is especially common in car accidents, dog bites, and other cases involving a traumatic experience. There are several types of emotional distress, including:
- Depression
- Fear
- Anxiety
- Insomnia
When a victim of a personal injury experiences emotional distress, their recovery period is often extended. This is due to how mental anguish can result in physical suffering as well.
What Steps Should I Take after an Accident?
Regardless of the type of incident in discussion, whether in slip and fall or motor vehicle accidents, it is important to first step away from the danger. In a car accident, make sure you do not leave the scene without filing a police report first, but move away from traffic or any other potential dangers. You will want to ensure that you receive medical attention immediately to get a physician’s opinion on your personal injuries. Next, document the scene, including any spills or other factors that allegedly led to the accident. If another party was involved, make sure to get their contact and insurance information. You will then want to obtain the trustworthy legal guidance of a Los Angeles injury attorney before you make any comment or speak to anyone about the accident.
How Will My Settlement Be Paid Out?
Compensation from a personal injury settlement can be paid out in different ways. It can be paid as a single lump sum or as a series of payments. The latter is a structured settlement payout and can be tailored to meet a variety of needs. Once these terms are agreed to, however, they cannot be changed.
How Long After Settlement Do I Get My Money?
How long it takes to get your money from a settlement will vary from case to case. Typically, a settlement can take up to six weeks to get processed, but a number of factors could influence this timeline.
How much do personal injury lawyers cost?
Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers represents injury victims on a contingency fee basis. This means that we do not charge our clients any fee unless and until we obtain financial compensation for them.
The only fee we charge is a percentage of any compensation we obtain for our clients. We do not charge upfront fees. Our clients never owe us any money out of their own pockets. Anybody can afford the experienced representation of Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers.
What if I Merely Aggravated a Pre-existing Condition?
You qualify for financial compensation if you had a pre-existing condition aggravated by an accident that wasn’t your fault. You may not receive as much compensation as you would receive for receiving a new injury, but you may still be able to hold the at-fault party responsible for aggravating your condition and thus financially liable for any medical bills, lost wages, etc. sustained due to the injury aggravation.
However, cases involving pre-existing conditions can be very complex, so it’s very important that you hire a lawyer if you’ve had a pre-existing condition aggravated by an accident, as a lawyer can hire experts to prove that your condition was aggravated by the accident.
What if an accident was partially my fault?
You may still qualify for financial compensation if you were injured in an accident that was partially your fault, as long as the accident was also partially someone else’s fault. California is a pure comparative negligence state, which essentially means that if you are found 20 percent at fault for an accident, the damages you are entitled to are simply reduced by 20 percent. Thus, if you sustain $50,000 in damages and are found 20 percent at fault for an accident, your damages will be reduced by 20 percent, or $10,000, so you’ll be eligible to recover $40,000 in damages.
Is there a time limit to file a lawsuit?
In California, you generally have two years from the date of your injuries to file a personal injury lawsuit. This time limit is known as a statute of limitations.
It can take a long time to gather evidence and put together a convincing case, so if you’ve been injured in an accident which wasn’t your fault, it’s important that you contact experienced personal injury lawyers like Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers right away to give them as much time as possible to build a convincing case for you and file it on time.
Do I Need a Personal Injury Lawyer?
You need the representation of experienced personal injury lawyers with a reputation for success like Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers if you want to recover all of the financial compensation you’re entitled to under California law for your injuries.
If you have been injured due to someone else’s negligence, the negligent party is liable under California law for any financial losses you have suffered. In almost all cases, it is the negligent party’s insurance company who will end up compensating you for your losses. However, if you don’t have a lawyer, you will not receive a fair settlement offer from the insurance company.
Insurance companies know they can get away with offering you a low-ball offer if you don’t have a lawyer. They know you can’t sue them and win over such an offer. Thus, they will never offer you what you are entitled to if you’re not represented by an attorney.
In addition, insurance adjusters are trained experts in preserving their employers’ profit margins by manipulating injury victims into saying things they can use to reduce their compensation. Thus, it is dangerous for you to speak with insurance adjusters and you should leave this task to a lawyer instead.
Most of our cases settle out of court because insurance companies know about our reputation for success in court. Sometimes our clients come to us after a long, drawn-out battle with an insurance company, only to quickly see a fair settlement offer once they hire us, as insurance companies know it’s a waste of their time and money to take us on in court.
Call us today for a free consultation if you or a loved one was injured in an accident in Los Angeles. We don’t charge a fee until and unless we obtain a recovery. We don’t charge a fee until and unless we obtain a recovery.
